Yes or no -Kids table and chair set? If no, did toddlers sit at the regular table for activities?

I have a 16 mo old and the other lo on the way. I kind of want to get a table/chair set but I'm not sure it's worth it. We have space for it, but we don't exactly have large living room, so it'll be a bit cramped. Did your kids /toddlers use it? If you don't have one, did they just sit in booster chairs at the dinning table?

I loved the small table when my youngest was a small toddler who couldn't get into his booster seat at the kitchen table by himself. But he could sit at the small table by himself with whining for my help. That was a plus.

We have a small table with two chairs from IKEA, which we keep in the playroom. My daughter (almost 3) uses it daily for play. I wanted to have a table in the playroom, so she would have a surface for playing.

Right now she either sits in a booster seat, or sits on a regular chair when she eats. The small table is nice for when we have company with kids, and need an extra seat at the table. We just bring the little table into the kitchen, and the kids sit there to eat.

We have one (table and two chairs) and honestly, I feel like it got used a lot in the beginning but we have a small space and a dining table and coffee table. Messy food/any art other than crayons and playdoh stay on the big table. And I'm considering moving it out for awhile and maybe rotating it back in like we do with other toys. My toddler is barely using it and 10 month old is too little for it/pulling up on in and it's not that safe for him.

We had a kids table and chairs for crafts/play-dough/etc...and my oldest used it but that was about it. By the time the other two came along ODD did most of her stuff at the dining room table and that is where they went also.

For eating, they all sat at the dining room table, in a booster from six months on.

We have this. It folds up and goes from an infant activity center to a table and has different height settings. I had it out for awhile for DD (dear daughter) because she preferred to sit somewhere that was not her high chair (probably because she was used to sitting at table at school and she wasn't big enough for a booster yet). Now she uses a booster at the table for most things.

When we have the upstairs space set up for a play area, we will set it back up to go with her play kitchen for pretend play. She's 2.5 now, so she's really getting into the pretend play. For now, though, it doesn't take up much space because it folds.

So you would use it for eating?

No, just for activities. I'd prefer they sit with us for meals. I guess I'm wondering if people don't have a little table and chair, where do their 1.5 -3yr olds do activities? On the floor, coffee table or sitting in a booster at the dinning table?
